They way Eleanor Burns talks drives me up a wall but I watch her anyway.

very true

I don't like it when they show how to do some technique on their brand new machine, Not all of us have the new machine or even that brand and cannot sew the way they do. I do like Nancy and E. Burns but I don't watch Fons' & Fon's anymore. I met Fon's at the IQS Houston, she was a snob!

EB's sugar-coated voice drove me to distraction so much that I have stopped watching her. Nancy Zieman has some rough patches, but she is a good teacher and has interesting guests. Liz Porter was the voice of reason compared to the too-chatty Marianne who had an annoying tendency to overlap Liz much too often, cutting her off at crucial moments of instruction. Marianne's daughter is no substitute for seasoned Liz and the program seems geared now more for newbies. I really miss Kaye Wood's quilting program and also "America Quilts Creatively" with Karen Goode and Sue Hausmann. I enjoy primarily Quilting Arts for innovative ideas and inspiration in contrast to the other traditional quilting shows.

I must say most of my viewing was some time ago but I just saw one who shall remain nameless and it was the same thing. I have also seen Nancy Zeman, she seems to be OK. |
What channels are these quilt shows on? I used to watch them in New York when I had dish network, now I'm in Nevada with cox and can't seem to get the channels.
